Maenad and Satyr dancing, South Etruscan, 500-475 BCE

"For fear of rustic force she [the Latin Hamadryas Pomona] walled her orchard in to keep away the sex she shunned. What tricks did they not try, the quick young light-foot Satyri, and the Panes . . . and that old rake, Silvanus [the Roman equivalent of Seilenos (Silanus)], ever younger than his years . . . what did they all not try to win her love?"

-Ovid, Metamorphoses 14. 634 ff
